DIY Pop Can Tab Bracelet


This is another super easy DIY craft I made in just five minutes. It was inspired by Austen Leathers' Bracelet. Last night, I was listening to some covers on YouTube and I came upon his cover of T. Swift's "All Too Well" and he did it pretty well that I have to like his Facebook page too. While browsing his posts, I saw this bracelet on his January posts and I immediately tried it today. 











This is super easy and very Earth-friendly. Things you need are: pop can tab, yarn, scissors and a nail polish which is optional. The first thing you have to do, is make a 35-chain strap with a crochet hook or you can do it with your hands if you know how. If not, don't worry you can opt the unchained style . Make 2 pcs. of strap for both sides and tie it on the holes of the pop can tab. As simple as that, you reduced waste, you re-purpose the can tabs and you have a nice bracelet to brag about. Hope you'll enjoy making this as much as I did.
